Had such a great time! Highly recommended for group booking. Right in the middle of the town and restaurants are walking distance. All facilities were made available in the room and everything was new and in good condition. Breakfast was not great though.

Not spending much time in the room. However, the room is spacious and clean. the bed is comfortable also. We were staying in 2 rooms apartment and there were 7 of us. Definitely will stay in this hotel if I come to Kuching again

Nur from Malaysia

It was a wonderful experience and value for money. However, there are water on the bathroom floor due to the poorly construction of the floor tile. Hence the water due to showering does not flow smoothly to the drainage outlet.

Zainuddin from Malaysia

a perfect stay with no regrets.. loved the room.. loved the swimming pool.. loved the view.. and its worth the value.
the poor housekeeping service is a minor stain that doesnt overlay the perfect reason to be at this hotel :)
breakfast was so-so.

Announcements

From September 1st, 2017, as per Government of Malaysia requirements, hotel guests who are not Malaysian citizens or long-term/permanent residents of Malaysia will be levied a tourism tax of RM 10.00 per room per night stay. Please note these changes in tax structure will result in revised taxes being charged and will be payable additionally during check out.

The rooms are well maintained and the Aircond’s are working very well which made it comfortable. Cleaners are helpful and timely doing their daily chores.
A very convenient place but if you have a car, it’s wise to ensure you can get a parking space as it’s quite limited.
A great place overall

Ariva gateway hotel has everything you need. Close to bars and restaurants! Short walk to river ftont. Would not bother paying for breakfast. Limited western choices. Staff at breakfast were unfriendly and lazy compared to reception staff who were extremely helpful and friendly . Had an issue with air conditioning which was addressed promptly. Needed a new one!! Would stay again!!

A pleasant short stay”

Clean and nice room, convenient location

We stayed in this hotel for two nights.
There weren't many options for breakfast (we opted for breakfast inclusive room), but the food taste was okay.
The room was clean and more spacious than I thought it would be.
The bed was somewhat bigger than normal queen-sized bed too.
The only downside was that the water in the shower took quite a while to drain, but it was nothing major.
Location wise, it was close to eateries. There was also 7-11 nearby.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay. I'd stay there again when I visit Kuching.

Does the job.”

Location Spacious Friendly.

I was on the thirteenth floor which doesn't bother me in the least,the room was spacious with a good view,sometimes you felt a bit isolated because it was so quiet but that's far better than having rowdy tenants on the same floor.
The management of this hotel possibly or maybe it was the staffs initiative but when they address you every time they see you with your first name, to me that shows true professionalism,well done there.
The only complaint and it's minor is the slowness of the lifts apart from that I enjoyed my stay immensely.

An excellent hotel that is really value for money ! Room is clean and comfortable, staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is central to many business centers and also close to many eateries and shopping areas. Will definitely stay here again .

Comfortable bed, clean room, friendly staff

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. All neccesary items were available in the room and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is convenient as it was walking distance to major attractions like the waterfront. Easy access to food and convenience stores. However, the breakfast selection was average but the place was nontheless worth every penny.

Hotel is clean and food provided is sufficient for all guest.

Ariva is situated in a walking distance to the waterfront. If you love walking museum is just down the road. Lots of shophouses selling souveniers, they are called the Main Bazaar. If you would like the authentic Kek Lapis Sarawak (Sarawak Layer Cake), take a boat(sampan) from the waterfront across for just RM0.50.
